Cooling ponds often use geomembranes to line their bottoms and sides, preventing water from leaking and ensuring efficient cooling. One of the best options for this purpose is an XR-5 geomembrane, a high-performance material made from reinforced polyethylene. The primary benefit of XR-5 geomembranes is their durability. They are resistant to punctures, UV radiation, and chemical exposure, making them ideal for the harsh conditions of a cooling pond.
This strength helps the liner last longer and reduces the need for frequent repairs. XR-5 also has excellent temperature tolerance, ensuring it remains stable even under the extreme heat conditions typical of cooling ponds. The material’s flexibility allows it to fit irregular pond shapes, providing a secure and long-lasting seal. Moreover, XR-5 is resistant to biological growth, such as algae, which can degrade other types of liners over time.
